I have a laptop that connects to the internet using an internal ATT broadband aircard. I would like to connect a router and print server. I want to connect a desktop pc so that it can use my internet service and I would like to print from anywhere in the house. I purchased a wireless g router and a print server not long ago however, when I tried to hook it up I was not able to because I did not have an external DSL modem. Is there any way to connect a router and a print server without an external DSL?
 
More Specs.
I have Vista Home Premium

It sounds like you purchased the wrong router.
 
What you need is a WRT54G3G-AT router.  You can then use your ATT aircard as the "Internet" source, and connect all your wired and wireless devices to it.

Yes, I go online with my computer. The card is internal though not one of those that you plug in to one of the slots. It is a Dell 5520 Cingular Broadband Mobile PC Card (3G HSPDA) made by Novatel Wireless.
